EN: The Ruli-Puli-Hole (also Rulli-Pulli) was hewn into the slate rock of a hill south of Glis to redirect a creek into the Saltina, thereby relieving the village of the risk of floods. The best place to see the hole is from a trail along the Saltina.
The cave is about forty meters long and seems to be very old. However, I could not find any details, not even where this strange name comes from.
DE: Das Ruli-Puli-Loch (auch Rulli-Pulli) wurde in das Schiefergestein eines Hügels südlich von Glis gehauen, um einen Bach in die Saltina umzuleiten und dadurch das Dorf von der Hochwassergefahr zu entlasten. Am besten ist das Loch von einem Wanderweg entlang der Saltina zu sehen.
Die Höhle ist rund vierzig Meter lang und scheint schon sehr alt zu sein. Ich konnte allerdings keinerlei Details herausfinden, auch nicht, woher dieser eigenartige Name stammt.
